Does Your AC Blow
Did you know that over time the Freon gas in you’re A/C System can Leak? Seal shrinkage and compressor inactivity during the colder winter months can cause your air conditioning system in your vehicle to leak Freon. Overtime, you will need to replace this Freon to maintain a cold temperature inside the car. Typically we recharge the system with new Freon, adding oil to lubricate the seals and dye to diagnose leaks. Most parts stores have kits to properly recharge you’re A/C systems. There is difference when this is completed by a professional. Most times we use a machine that will extract the Freon, holding a vacuum on the system for a designated time to insure there are no major leaks in the system. We then fill the A/C System to the correct, factory recommended, level. We include a dye to the system so that if there are any small leaks, they can be detected at a later time if the A/C were to fail to perform to specification. The kits from the parts retail stores do not include this extra step and sometimes are vague in the instructions. Overcharging the system can cause the A/C system from operating correctly as well. We always recommend that if you are uncomfortable in the task, let us help you with it. Typically most A/C Services cost $70.00 to $120.00 to perform, depending on the size of the A/C System. Some larger vehicle models have multiple Evaporator Cores and can use more Freon gasses

If you don’t control your money, your money will control you. Today let’s focus on getting control over the cost of auto repair and maintenance.
The Cost of Owning a Car
Here’s a look at all the budget categories you may want consider when attempting to nail down your auto expenses:
- Purchase price – payment (cash and/or financing and interest) to acquire the vehicle
- Taxes - paid when you buy or sell the vehicle
- Fuel - the gasoline/fuel you need to make the vehicle run
- Insurance – all levels auto insurance including personal liability, collision, comprehensive, roadside assistance, etc.
- Tags and registration – state vehicle registration, license plates, and renewal tags
- Repair and maintenance - tires, oil changes, and all other repairs and maintenance necessary to keep your vehicle operational
Benefits of Controlling These Costs
Many of the benefits of controlling your auto maintenance costs are similar to those you experience when gaining control over any area of your money, so let’s focus on those that are specific to the topic. Proper budgeting for auto repair and maintenance will allow you to:
- Have a better relationship and better communication with your auto mechanic
- Prepare/plan better so you don’t have to race to get oil changes before your next trip
- Reduce your maintenance expenses going forward
- Relax in the knowledge that you’re prepared
You can achieve all of these things simply by setting aside enough money to cover your expenses. That way you won’t have to stress or worry about where the money is coming from – if it can be found at all.
